ROSIE KOzEL.
Highlnore Special: The young
lady who died at Britton Tuesday, can
not surely be the one known here, for
this reason. The Rosie Kozel who
worked at Redfield, is at the home of
her parents, about twenty miles north
of Highmore, and has been there since
about the time that the Rosie Kozel, of
Redfield disappeared from there. She
came direct from Redfield to Highmore
and went to her parents home at once
by stage. She is small person, and
young. In the spring of 1886 she
worked at the National house here, and
went from here to Altoona, and last
worked at Redtield. She was seen yes
tArday, at her fathers home in North
Hyde county, by a neighbor, who
brought word to the proprietor of the
National house, who wished her to
come and work for him, that she could
not do so-that she was engaged. This
engagement seems to be true, but of q
different character than anticipated, for
it is said that she will be married very
soon, and that she is getting ready.
This gives clear understanding of the
Britton affair.". The young lady who
died there Tuesday must be known as
one who simply permitted it to be be-
lieved that she was the Rosie Kozel
missing from Redfeld. The dispatches
and letters ofinquiry sent here are con-
vincing that the Rosie Kozel now alive
and we'll, of Hyde county, and latterly
from Redfield, is the one sought, and
that the Rosie Kozel had true name
not that which she seemingly possess
ed when she died. Now that the true
Rosie Kozel is found, the curtain of
mystery may be dropped upon her and
raised upon the unfortunate dead and
upon the history that undoubtedly
envelopes her life.
REAL ESTATE DEAL.

sold his stock farm of eight hundred
acres TO Miss Hattie B. Wright, of
Minneapolis, for $25, 900 also 100 acres
to M. w. Jones, of Minneapolis, for
$4,000. Both tracts are within five
miles of the city. No stock is included
in the sale but is probable that some

Caldwell's herd, valued at $4,000.
Other important sales are likely to fol-
low in few days.
